I have a question, can be quite complex for English native speakers. In Neo-Latin languages we have a "you" formal (usually used with older people, teachers, business and so on) and an informal "you" (used between friends or in all informal situations).
Which kind of translation would you prefer? A more formal or a more informal? Usually in video-games either are used depending on the context.
To be more precise in Italian you can use the informal you: "Inizia il tuo turno!",
the formal you: "Inizia il suo turno!"
or something more anonymous: "Inizia il turno!" or "Inizia il turno del giocatore!"
(all translations of the same sentence "Player turn starts!").
The most common are the first and the third, but want to keep consistent with other translations.
Thanks

I though also that I will fire here some requests of explanations.
What is meant by:
- High Men (high in the meaning noble? tall? leaving on mountains?)- combat_passedSavingThrow = {0} successfully passed {1} saving throw! (can I have an example?)
- //weapon special abilitiesWeaponAcid = AcidicWeaponFlame = Flaming , etc. In which context are they used? I mean will be used in a sentence like Weapon Acidic or something else? I need all possible substantive before that adjective because we have distinction between masculine and feminine in Italian

event_AddProductionMultiplier_negative_desc_applie d = Production in {1} decreases by {0}%.
This should be Production decreases by {0}%.
as event_AddGoldProduction_desc_applied = Gold production increases by {0}%.
right? (without the {1} as all other _applied entries

I know what you mean (we also have this formal you in Polish). I suppose we should go with the informal "you"; the formal one feels weird in a game, and I'm not a big fan of an impersonal Player.

- High Men (high in the meaning noble? tall? leaving on mountains?)

Noble. And I can see it being an uncomfortable translation - High Elves are pretty common in fantasy and we got used to it, but High Men are MoM-specific.

WeaponAcid = Acidic

They're item enchantments, and right now it will show only when inspecting an item (as a single word, not in a sentence)
